A 44-year-old plumber from Menzkrom has been arrested by the Dansoman branch of the Domestic Violence and Victims Support Unit (DOVVSU) of the Ghana Police Service for reportedly having a series of wild sexual bouts with his 15-year-old daughter.

Suspect William Sakyie was said to have started engaging his daughter in the incestuous affair when she was 13 years.

With beatings and threats that he would no longer take care of the victim’s educational needs, the incest father, according to a family member, was able to get away with it until February10 2010, when he was arrested.

According to a family source, the suspect took custody of the victim from the mother when she was only one and a half years old.

“William started his sexual advances towards the victim after the divorce with his second wife,” the source intimated, stressing that the suspect often beat the victim and denied her feeding fee whenever she resisted him.

The source averred that the victim finally reported the matter to the police when she could no longer bear the abuse.

Narrating the incident to the paper, the victim said William Sakyie, after the day’s work, often mounted her every night while she was sleeping.

She said, “I kept the matter to my self until February 10, 2010. My father, after work, pounced on me that night as usual, to have sex with me and when I refused, he gave me some beatings and finally succeeded in sleeping with me.”

Confirming the story, the Public Relations Officer of DOVVSU, Inspector Irene Opong, indicated that the victim had been given a form for medical examination whilst the suspect was being prepared for court.
